Thanks to all for your comments about OpenOffice.

Certainly got a cross section of views which is what it is all about.

Considering the it is going to take up nearly a gig of my hard
drive and that I have MS Office on my PC, I will continue dragging
files through the little network I have. If I did not have the PC
with Office there is no doubt I would have given it a try.

Well, I know where to come for an opinion next time I'm thinking of
getting a new program.

Thanks again....Dave
